IMPROVEMENT IN SHELVES FOR SALOON-TABLES.

Specifica-tion forming part of Letters Patent No. l 33,4*319 dated November 26, 18.72.

I reference marked thereon makingp'art of this specification.

My invention has relation to saloon-tables; and the novelty consists in the no'vel construction and arrangement of the swinging shelves pi voted under the table-leaf, whereby a suitable a-nd convenient sta-nd is obtained for drinkin g-g'lasses, where they will not be liable to soil the table-top, substantially as hereinafter more fully set forth.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure l is a side elevation of my improved saloon-table, showing the shelves extended, and also showing them turned back in under the table where they are entirely out of the way. Fig. 2 is a 1 plan or' the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A are the bars which support the top of the table B 5 G, the legs; D, the shelves, pivoted at E by screws F to bars A. These shelves may be ot' any desired shape 5 but I prefer to have the corners rounded, as shown in the drawing. They may also be dished, as shown at G, into which the glasses may be placed to guard against the possibility of their heilig pushed oft'.

The shelves D, when in use, are swung out and around the legs of the table, when the projections Hitinto and rest upon the inside of staples I driven into the bars A, which somewhat reduces the strain upon screws F.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In combination with a sa1oontable,the movable shelf D, pivoted at one side of the tableleg, and indented on its inner edge to embrace such leg, together with the arms H extending on each side ofthe leg to form braces, subi stantially as specified.
